theres the Dictator whom thinks he owns the club usually one of the longest serving.
then theres the fidler who thinks the clubs funds are solely for there own use,(the 2nd club I helped at the treasurer left with £47,000)
then theres the organiser who thinks his ideas are the best even if they antagonize a large % of the paying members.
theres the mason section who collect together in secret sub commitees usually undermining other peoples efforts and withholding information from members.
and last but not least the members themselves in my case swimmers parents and my god you will never ever win, for every one you please there will be 3 you wont and in the end you chase your tail this was the one outstanding reason I gave up Coaching the bitterness of some parents(members) was unbelievable.
that is why I would never go on another commitee and why Ive learnt to let everthing go over my head and just ride out and meet new friends.
Webby/Henners where ever you go you meet these types of people and leaving wont blot them from existance,so dont take things personnely its human nature once people have a little power they go a little off line.

Ian you are spot on with your observations of the committee structures.
